A correction to 48A – I’m rushing too much!

The Drawing AX130 is of the Arrangement of Steam and Blowout Pipes. This is the one with a cross section of the south end of the boiler house showing the wet pit etc (base -5′ OD so below river bed level), also the second hand Horton Kirby boiler used as a hot water tank.

The drawing showing the cooling water supply and return pipes is AX121, dated 3/2/1922. It does not show the rotary strainer which I believe was added later, but had been removed by the time I worked in the mill, the frame of it was still in existence.
